Say what?!

if they have -11 at the end then all you have to do is gap them down to 0.8.

If they are the same heat range as what is required then it makes zero difference!

I have gotten spark plugs that were meant to be gapped at 0.8 but were all over the shop, 0.7 - 1.0 on a batch of six

Far out that's shitty consistency (0.7-1.0).

I was just being lazy.. pregapped is less work. But if they are so variable with the gap then yes you might as well get the 1.1's and gap them down yourself.

So Iv put the new splitfires in turned out the drama was a 10 mm bolt half under the coil yes I should of checked first which I wouldn't think it would be a simple fix but it was $$ who knows what else the previous owner has left me.. ebc is in throw it at the dyno for a safe tune next

You'll use the splitfires anyway............a step up from OEM and good for extra boost - when you get that bigger turbo and start huffing!!!

And I'm sort of surprised nobody mentioned taping them just to check it wasn't an arc issue???

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
